    No Updates on mobile broadband


    I am on Windows 10. I regularly use a mobile broadband dongle. I pay £10 every 30 days and get 1GB.A typical update came through today on Windows 10 at 532mb!That is far too much for mobile broadband dongle users. I didn't have enough data so it failed and all my data was wasted.Please can I stop receiving Windows 10 security and feature updates. I don't get them at all because I only have 1GB of data and they just waste data, so can the option be switched off.I have never ever received a single security or feature update on Windows 10 because I AM ON A METERERED CONNECTION. So I don't get the

    Data trough 4G mobile broadband connection blocked when ethernet connected

    Hi Robert,

    It appears that Windows is managing your connection. It only allows you to connect to your mobile broadband connection if you're not connected to either Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. To work around this behavior, I suggest disabling this feature to allow
    you to manually connect to your cellular or mobile connection. Please follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Network & Internet > Cellular.
    2. Uncheck the box for Let Windows manage this connection.
    3. Once done, try connecting manually to your mobile broadband while Ethernet is connected and see if it works.

    For more information about mobile broadband connection, please check out,
    Cellular settings in Windows 10    .

    Please update this thread with the result so I'll be able to assist you further if needed.

    Regards.
